The Forbidden Kingdom

Story line - Crap

Action - Sweet

Main knocks - I think if they'd made it in the vein of the Golden Flower (or whatever it was called) and Hero, ala a serious movie, it would've been a blockbuster. It had potential, which they pretty much destroyed when they thought of using the typical 'American kid saves the day' type theme.

The bloody adverts had me going too, none of them paid any mention of a young Yank having to save the day.

So in short - if it was a Chinese production it would've been a lot better.

Still enjoyable, if only for the action scenes.
